Do android and iOS stores have undisclosed fee structures for high revenue or high usage apps? I was under the impression that the fees were at least transparent, even if they do represent monopolistic rent seeking.

There were several instances that came out in recent court cases of the app stores negotiating custom deals with strategically-important apps.

E.g. Spotify: https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/20/23969690/google-spotify-...

So typical "above this negotiating power, let's talk terms", and everybody smaller has to pay list price.

The Android app stores. The iOS app store doesn't have any known deals.
